Contact Lenses (Response Paper #5)

Ever since I had the traditional pair of glasses

I always wanted to try something else

It was good

But it was old

 

Then you appeared

Something that excited me

And new

I left it at the corner

And put you on

 

The world had changed

The pain on my nose had disappeared

The weight on my ears had gone

And I could still see the world

Clearly

 

I completely forgot the old one

Completely

 

But only after just a few days

My eyes hurt

They were infectious

I had to take you off

And threw into the trash

 

I picked up the old one at the corner

It still worked

Like always

And never left
